'mental-centric' originates from the combination of 'mental,' derived from Latin 'mentalis,' meaning 'of the mind,' and 'centric,' from Greek 'kentrikos,' meaning 'pertaining to a center.'

'mental' evolved from the Latin word 'mentalis,' and 'centric' from the Greek word 'kentrikos,' eventually forming the modern English compound word 'mental-centric.'

Initially, 'mental' referred to anything related to the mind, and 'centric' meant centered. Together, they evolved to mean focused on mental processes.
